Hilarious story to go with the picture and TWO videos

We have had another busy weekend, with swim lessons, birthday parties, football games, etc. Today I was attempting to put Maddy down for a nap and was getting NOWHERE . Sleep is definitely an area of parenting that I have failed miserably and it is a daily reminder each night and twice a day on weekends...it's awesome (and I am not undoing my wrongs by having another one...for anyone who is thinking maybe). Well after trying for 30 minutes to get her down and being unsuccessful, I came out...had a mini nervous breakdown...and decided on a random Sunday afternoon that I would let her "cry it out." So with 30 minutes of screaming and a thousand or more, "open the door" and "I want mommy" moments she finally stopped crying. Getta...who witnessed my meltdown and sat there quiet and still.. not knowing exactly WHAT to do...insisted that she go look under the door to see where she had fallen asleep. After having her wait a couple of minutes she went and looked and came back telling me she thought she was in her bed. So I decided to open the door..just to make sure... and this is what I found:) HILARIOUS!!!! I guess she thought I was going to come back and rock her (since I have for the last TWO years, I am such a sucker). Then I decided it wasn't safe for her to sleep there, for obvious reasons, so the second Clint walked in the door, which was only moments after she had fallen asleep (he missed the meltdown), I asked him to go in there and move her. He did, and she woke up 45 minutes later. All that for less than an hour....better than nothing. I am celebrating the small success:) Enjoy the video of Maddy in the bathtub and the one of her picking her nose, thinking it is so funny. They're pretty cute. Have a great week!
